I'm a student at Maui High School. My concern is school meals. I feel the school cafeteria should provide more vegetarian options. I don't eat meat, but I always intend on using the school meals provided during our breaks.
Sometimes I avoid breakfast because it consists of meat all over the food. At lunchtime, I'm hungry - just as most kids are. It's disappointing when I see what the lunch is and the main part of the meal consists of a meat product. If there's a veggie wrap, there's always chicken in it. When there's spaghetti, there's never the option of meatless sauce. When there's pizza, it's always covered in pepperoni.
What's left for me is always just a small portion of fruit, a bread roll and a handful of salad.
I would just appreciate a vegetarian option to be available at school so myself and other students who may have chosen to be vegetarian can enjoy the meals provided at our school.
